Someone\u2019s offering an unusual deal for a 13-acre property in Mill Valley, just north of South Francisco.<\/p>\n
Homeowner and investment banker Storm Duncan has created a LinkedIn page<\/a> for the home, which he said he\u2019d \u201clike to exchange [\u2026] for Anthropic equity.\u201d<\/p>\n The San Francisco Standard reports<\/a> that Duncan described this as a \u201cdiversification play,\u201d as he\u2019s \u201cunder-concentrated in AI investments relative to the importance of AI in the future, and over-concentrated in real estate,\u201d while a young Anthropic employee might be \u201cin the exact opposite scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n Duncan is asking potential buyers to email him to discuss deal specifics, but he said it would be a private transaction that doesn\u2019t require the buyer to sell their stock outright. On LinkedIn, he also said the homebuyer would \u201ccontinue to retain 20% of the upside value of the shares exchanged for the duration of the lockup period.\u201d<\/p>\n Duncan, who described himself as a longtime Bay Area resident who moved to Miami during the pandemic, bought the property<\/a> in 2019 for $4.75 million. It\u2019s currently occupied by \u201ca high profile VC,\u201d he said, but he declined to identify the VC.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
